I came across this about a 'red light pantry' - yuk, they can keep their Maggi soup.

I've been getting a little bit extra each week for a while, as & when I can manage it so we should be OK as long as it doesn't last too long. Well - the dog'll be OK, anyway, she's about 3 weeks ahead now for dogroll.

No faith in people's ability to make soup from scratch?

Tried one - that was enough! I'll stick to making my own.

i cannot get my favourite salad dressing, Newmans Caesar vinaigrette, been gone for weeks.
No sparkling mineral water now for a couple of weeks.  my fave toothpaste (Sparkly Grape Gel for Kids) is mia as well.
shelves sans Smooth American Style peanut butter
Second week of no Noble cheese at New World.
had i known i would have started hoarding.
its a first world problem i know, but a problem nonetheless.
dry salad is virtually unpalatable. the bubbles in Soda Water are too big, not the same as mineral water.
there is no substitute for ones favourite peanut butter, its that or nothing.
im against it.
If we think times are tough now, imagine how difficult it must have been during WW2, when people could get sweet Fanny Adams & had to make do & mend, & grow their own.
Its annoying I know, but that's just the way it is for now. And no doubt I'll be complaining about something or other sooner or later too - fairly sure it won't be the size of bubbles in fizzy drink, though.
im not built for that, while i dont mind the outdoors i prefer a flushing shitter.
refrigeration isnt necessary, as long as theres plenty of ice.
when i was younger and went camping i brought a little generator so i could run my blender for margaritas.
you want them slushy its tres essential.
theres not much in the survival manual when your cv says bon vivant.

A bucket of water down the loo works to flush it.
 If you have no fridge, dig yourself a hole in the back yard in a shady spot, line it with bricks & make a cover for it. My grandmother had one of those before anyone had fridges, used for storing butter, milk etc etc.

i think id rather shit in the hole and keep my bevvies cold in the pissoir.
couldnt i pay someone to generate a few watts for me by pedalling super fast on a bike hooked up to a generator?
